By:Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:12/31/1945 - 12/31/1945
Album Info:Here are the front cover and the complete contents of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's 99th Annual Report for the Year Ending 31 December 1945. Issued: 13 February 1946. This 31-page document actually consists of two parts: the first 16 pages present a series of captioned color illustrations entitled "One Hundred Years of Transportation Progress," while the last 15 pages are devoted to financial and legal matters. "One hundred years ago, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was founded to serve the American public. This, therefore, is its Centennial Year. Believing both Stockholders and Employees would be interested in a brief review of the Company's growth and progress over the last century, the Management offers one as a preface to the 1945 Annual Report."
